Michal Ždanský Tuesday's keynote brought not only two new iPhones, but also some newly designed accessories for them. We have already mentioned most of them in previous articles from the introduction of phones, but some may have escaped your attention, so we present the following overview, including Czech prices.
Cases for iPhone 5s and 5c
Last year, Apple surprisingly didn't release any official iPhone 5 case, so we had to rely on the production of third-party case manufacturers, and there was definitely plenty to choose from. This year it was different. Those who expected a bumper may be disappointed, the new covers cover both the sides and the back of the phones.
For the iPhone 5s, Apple has prepared six leather cases in yellow, beige, blue, brown and black colors, red (PRODUCT) RED will also be available. While on the outside we find luxurious looking leather, inside is a soft microfiber. Around the buttons on the sides we find protrusions for their easy identification and pressing, nothing new for packaging of this type. Although they are primarily intended for the iPhone 5s, they can also be used for the previous model without any problem, as both phones share the same design. The cover will be available in the Czech Apple Online Store for 949 CZK.
New cases were also introduced for the cheaper iPhone 5c. These are also available in six colors – beige, red, yellow, blue, green and black. However, they differ in material and design. The cases are silicone and have a series of circular cutouts on the back to bring out the original color of the phone, given that color variation is the main theme of the iPhone 5c. The packaging design has turned out to be quite controversial, with many people not liking it at all, while others are welcoming it. Either way, the package will cost 719 CZK.
Docking cradle
The dock is also finally back in the Apple Store, a simple device that you put your iPhone into and, thanks to an attached cable, it starts charging and possibly syncing if you have the cradle connected to your computer. The cradle also includes a 3,5 mm jack for audio output, so the iPhone can be connected to, for example, a Hi-Fi system. What's more, the dock can be controlled with the Apple remote, so you can control music playback from a distance. The cradle costs CZK 719 in the Apple Online Store, it is available with both a Lightning connector and an older 30-pin connector.
Synchronization cable 2 m
The length of the sync cable for the iPhone has often been criticized, and Apple seems to have finally heard the calls of customers and has also come up with a two-meter variant, i.e. twice the length of the supplied cable. The cable is no different from the one-meter cable, it is only longer and more expensive. It is available in the Apple Online Store for 719 CZK.
Hello, has the official date for the start of iPhone 5s sales in the Czech Republic appeared somewhere? According to the keynote, it should be by December, but I've already read that perhaps a week after the start of sales in the USA?! Thanks.
I would also be interested, thanks :-))
Until November, unfortunately.
Crocs packaging for a liter, why the fuck not…
hunt… kill it!
Seven hundred is not a liter, Bobin.
Don't be mad at me, but this is an abomination of magnificence…
I understand that Apple wants to please the Chinese market, but this is too much and what's more for a liter?
And wouldn't you rather wait for someone to finally hold it in their hands and see it with their own eyes? What do you want to rate now?
Do you buy accessories until you have them in your hand? So I always ordered the packaging online according to the photos from all sides. The main thing I want to evaluate is that, from my point of view, the perforated side of the case looks absolutely like a bad joke.
Yes, most people buy such things based on some experience, even if they take it over the Internet. You will also have the opportunity to go and see it. :-)
Well, I don't know, I bought the cover from Ballistic for NOK 900 without going anywhere to inspect it. So I wonder where I could actually see him? However, I found compared the photos, properties and ordered.
But back to the original question: from the available sources, which of you likes the iPhone cases we have now[c]?
I don't like 5C at all, so there's no point in evaluating the accessories on it :-D.
PS: It definitely looks better in the picture than the phone itself ;-).
There is a difference between blindly buying and blindly evaluating. If it's a case for a hundred from a Chinese e-shop, then feel free to risk it and order it, at worst you won't like it, you'll throw it away and you've lost a hundred. It is another thing to evaluate it without seeing it and holding it in your hand, which is apparently a typical characteristic of many people in our country. So keep calm, you too will have the opportunity to go see it first, touch the material, try it on your new iPhone and only then buy it. :-)
I don't know why you are upset about the price of the packaging :) Soon it will be possible (if not already today) to order this from China, for example in whole containers with a price of about 50 CZK/1 package. Like everything else. You act like you've only been walking around the world since yesterday :)
